Adrain Gheniei

Adrian Ghenie - "Pie Fight Study 2", 2008, oil on canvas, 55 X 59 cmIn this piece by contemporary painter Adrian Ghenie, the artist really plays with this idea of a faceless portrait. It name is "Pie Fight Study 2." It is oil on canvas 55 x 59 cm. I love how she really uses the medium to her advantage. In the painting it looks as if the figure is tearing away at the own paint he is painted with. This brings up a magnitude of meanings. It could also just be about a pie fight...but thats the beauty of art. Throughout her work she continues with this theme of the faceless figure.
